FLORENCE & THE MACHINE INSPIRED TAROT

a seven day, self-reflective challenge inspired by florence & the machine lyrics. questions are meant to reveal inner truths and invoke contemplation of the self, and are a form of shadow work. this spread relies heavily on relinquishing control in a difficult situation so as to come out better on the other side; the questions aim to help you cope with the impact, and breathe.

pull 3+ cards per question; the questions are inspired by my own interpretation of the lyrics, so if they don’t resonate with you, feel free to personalize them to better suit your own desires in a reading

day 1: “happiness hit her like a train on a track; coming towards her, stuck still, no turning back.” what catalyst is coming for me? how can i stop being afraid and let it run it’s course? how will it benefit me, even if it knocks me off my feet?

day 2: “with your big heart, you praise god above; but how’s that workin out for you, honey? do you feel loved?” what do i need to stop ‘worshiping?’ why isnt this thing im clinging to benefiting me?

day 3: “i must become a lion-hearted girl; ready for a fight; before i make the final sacrifice.” what strengths do i need to display? what do i need to give up to make myself stronger?

day 4: “be careful my darling; be careful of what it takes; what ive seen so far, the good ones always seem to break.” how can i shield myself? who should i turn to for support?

day 5: “lay me down; let the only sound, be the overflow; pockets full of stones.” what scary thing do i currently need to give into? should i let myself drown if it means ill come out pure and clear on the other side?

day 6: “grab me by the ankles, ive been flying for too long; i couldnt hide from the thunder in a sky full of song.” what good thing do i need to stop hiding from? how should i overcome it, so that the thing i fear can become beautiful again?

day 7: “tell me what you need, oh you look so free; the way you use your body, baby, come on and work it for me; dont let em get you down, youre the best thing ive seen; we never found the answer but we knew one thing.” what will i learn from this situation? how will the outcome affect me for the better?
